Red Blue Chair | WORKSHOP (DE)

Gerrit Rietveld produced a number of designs that anyone could re-build for themselves. The Dutch designer adn architect published instructions for the construction of furniture and prefabricated houses. Based on simple wooden elements, he developed systems of interlocking pieces and applied this principle to create his simple and elegant furniture. Following an introduction, these principles can be tried out on Rietveld’s most famous design, the Red-Blue Chair. Each participant will construct a full-size reproduction in unvarnished wood.
